The all white doll with the butterfly embroidery is called a "pillowcase doll" an is in fact, made from an old embroidered pillowcase! I did some for my girls when they were little with old linens from their great grandmother.

The glass cups are punch cups, often sold in a set with a punch bowl. They were used in the 1950s and 1960s for ladies lunches, bridal and baby showers!

Thank you for saving the old stuff from the land fill

I love the fact that you are managing to find many gems at the bins just before the remainder goes to landfill. The vintage makeup case is cute!

Your bins are such treasure troves, I watch a lot of KZreadrs who shop that the bins and it looks mostly like rubbish. Drooling over the linens and quilts

Home for a Bunny, was my favorite childhood book!! Ahhh, the memories!

Deseret Industries, and I think several other thrift stores, send their unsold items to countries for those who have nothing. They are very appreciated and loved. ❤.

I use hot glue to add wicks to my candles. I put the wick in a drinking straw and add hot glue to the bottom of the wick then use the straw to place the wick in the bottom of the cup. That way you don't burn yourself.

If you don't have a theomometer for the correct pouring temp, pour just before congealing

Popsicle sticks work well for holding the wick

Jami, you look so pretty with your hair down.. ..

Flat land Ohio thanks you for the mountains! Good stuff found as usual -- the Goodwill head offices need to give you a "1/2 off" winners card for the huge advertising you give them across the country . The blue chair completed on Wed was in the Norway painted family tradition style & just beautiful -- a family adopts a unique style & identifies w/ it -- you created your family style -- truly unique !

Your ability to find good stuff at the bins right now in larger quantities is directly related to the fact that they’ve raised their prices at their normal stores and buyers from those stores are passing on more items due to the higher pricing. This is leading to more items transitioning to the bins. Good for bin shoppers but a bad business move for Goodwill. 😉

Omg! I found that same doorstop cat at bins in Ohio😂

That’s smart! I will try it. Someone also mentioned a clothes pin. So many better ideas than what we had.

The white doll is a church doll the children would take them to church because they were quiet. And the kids were entertained

The cloth doll was made from a vintage embroidered pillowcase.

Good job😂😂😂😂

Love the smocked dress. The smocked part itself could be removed and framed. Wouldn't do it with this particular dress as it appears to be in great condition.

Those Popular Science books were sold with encyclopedias in the 1960’s as a set of ten volumes or so. (Ask me how I know… 😃)

My Goodwill bins price things differently. Books are charged by the inch.

I had a good chuckle over Zeb in the book bin. Weren't we always told to Not judge a book by it's cover? ;) That was a gorgeous cover BTW.

It looked like that 1919 book was signed!

YOU SHOULD ADD FOOD COLORING TO THE WAX FOR COLOR.

Isn’t there a clamp with the wicks to hold them in place?

So...we don't have Goodwill Bins where i live, so this is a new concept for me. Where does that merchandise come from? It looks like maybe from "over stocked stores"? And /Or libraries? It doesn't looked like " heavily " used items ( like Mickey and Minnie Mouse Plush looked new 😊.??) I'm hoping ours here in Florida does that.! I've heard there is a shopping ban on the Goodwill here every one is so fed up with their prices! Not sure what is going to happen . It's better here,price wise ,to find a church sale or yard sale. But that involves a lot of gas money! Ugh! Im a booth owner. It's tough right now! And I see your buy/ sell prices out there!!! And cry...LOL

You have to leave enough headspace to cut the wick below the top of the vessel.

Please test your candles before you sell them
